William (Jack) Cole – Director

Jack began his career in construction in 1980 at the age of twelve working with his grandfather, a general contractor.

Jack truly has the hands on knowledge that Cole Construction, LLC brings to their clients. Jack and Hilary started their family construction company in 1997. That small venture has grown into Cole Construction, LLC , a $10,000,000+ revenue per year company. Jack oversees all aspects of the company, alongside his wife Hilary, but primarily focuses on construction performance and contracts. His main duties are to ensure that projects are constructed to specifications and are within budget and on time.
